G.K. CHESTERTON AND POLAND

A friend has sent me a rare gift: Gilbert Keith Chesterton's 'Autobiography,' published in London in 1937, one year after the great English writer's death.

Chesterton writes with sympathy about Poland; he visited the country ( in 1920s?), met Marshall Pilsudski and Roman Dmowski.

In the book, Chesterton mentions 'a particularly charming Anglo-Irish academic gentleman doing [...] the work of penetrating with sympathy the soul of Poland' (p.313).

Are there foreigners today who have equally positive attitude towards Poland and the Poles as Chesterton and the Anglo-Irish gentleman?

See: G. K. Chesterton. Autobiography. Hutchinson & Co. London: 1937.

The late James Michener's book POLAND was very insightful. Michener was adopted, so may or may not have had Polish blood, but he was known for his careful research.
